The Arizona monument would be aimed at safeguarding areas near Grand Canyon National Park that local tribes want to protect from uranium extraction
The fact that the sanctity of such a place must be enshrined into law in order for capitalists to abstain from raping it tells you everything you need to know about the system.
Yep. Fuck nature and our future. The shareholders need to see a 5% increase on profits every quarter.
Profit must grow year over year or a company is failing at capitalism.
You’re right, we should just stop using any resources.
Shit take. Are you a bad faith actor or just very stupid?
Straight to the personal attacks ehh?
Yes. I personally attack morons.
For people who aren’t aware, there’s a very good reason why Native Americans especially wouldn’t trust uranium mines or any uranium refinement happening on or around tribal or sacred lands. Iirc it’s the world’s 3rd largest nuclear disaster and the government pretended nothing happened for a long time.
Shit. I work in the nuclear industry and I wasn’t aware of this. Thanks for sharing. The mistreatment and sheer disrespect shown to native people by corporations and government is one of the major stains on US history.

Oh okay, to prevent uranium mining. I knew he wouldnt be getting in the way of fossil fuels.
Jesus. Just as I thought I was about to read some good news, it just had to be something depressing lol.
Good, we don’t need to destroy the world more than we already have, especially when it would mean fucking over Native Americans again. But the fact that we have to do this in order to protect people and the planet is ridiculous. It shouldn’t be an idealism for human lives to matter more than corporate profits.
Mining would be okay if it was well regulated and controlled and monitored but it’s not. Grown adults can’t be trusted to be responsible and seem to always ruin shit and not clean it up. So we all suffer for it.
The monument should be a lump of concrete blocks in the shape of a cock.
